About the RGB format
RGB — Raw Red Green Blue
RGB is a raw pixel format that stores red, green, and blue channel values sequentially without any file header or compression. It is the simplest possible color image representation and is used as a universal interchange format in image processing, scientific computing, and GPU programming.
Common uses
- Raw image data for machine learning datasets
- OpenGL and GPU texture buffer loading
- Scientific image processing and analysis
- Intermediate format in image conversion pipelines
About the DST format
DST — Tajima Embroidery Format
DST is the most widely supported machine embroidery format, created by Tajima and readable by nearly every commercial embroidery machine. It stores stitch coordinates and machine commands but carries no colour information, which is why a DST file has to be paired with a colour sequence when it is stitched out.
Common uses
- Sending designs to commercial Tajima, Barudan and Melco machines
- Exchanging embroidery designs between machine brands
- Digitizing software output for production embroidery
- Previewing a stitch file before running it on a machine
